STANDARD PA^JABT.

In order to illmtrate the standard Panjabi described in the preceding grammatical
Bketch, I here give the Parable of the Prodigal Son taken from the rersion of the Gospel
of St. Luke published by the British and Foreign Bible Society. The translation is an
excelleijt one, but should not be taken as representing, in all its purity, the Panjftbi of
the Majh. The standard of the grammatical sketch is rather a refined version of the
PaKjabi spoken in the Powadh^ of the District of Ludhiana, which differs slightly from
the PaKjabi of Amritsar.
